@masklayer long ago my mum once asked if some friends I was going to visit were furries. They were, so I was like "uh...I mean...y-yeah?"
"Oh right! So they're into the whole dressing up as animals thing?"
Insert me hoping this conversation was going to actually be nice and not a basket of facepalm.
"I mean, that's not the whole of it but sure some of them do that"
"Ah okay! Aren't they also into a lot of sex in those out-" Facepalming here "-fits? You will be careful right??

and no amount of "no, mum, that's not how this/that/anything/life/reality works" will calm her. x_x;
